I’m the kind of person that runs tech into the ground. It’s probably a bad habit of mine but I tell myself I’m being frugal. Old HP having battery issues.

I do enough side projects (nothing complete enough to post on here, but I will probably start updating soon) that a linux laptop is appealing. Was considering either a modern Thinkpad, or going full autist and cobbling together an old one.

But my main usage for a laptop is just to have something to do work on and some light gaming while on the go. Something lightweight with enough battery life to get me through watching movies on plane flight.

So with with System76 and I’m liking it so far. List specific specs.
